ESPN Chiefs reporter Adam Teicher expects Kansas City to cut WR Dwayne Bowe if the two sides can't agree on a reduced contract.

Bowe, who turns 31 in September, just wrapped up the second season of a five-year, $56M contract. He's owed an absurd $11M in 2015 salary, but just $1.75M of that is guaranteed and the salary cap ramifications of a cut are minimal because of his one-game suspension in 2014. The cap-strapped Chiefs clearly can't afford to pay $11M for a wideout who caught zero touchdowns in 2014 and three in 2013. Bowe may balk at taking a paycut, instead looking to land with a more wideout-friendly quarterback and scheme. Jan 5 - 9:20 AM

Bowe, 30, finished a pedestrian 2014 season with a 60-754-0 receiving line. His stats were 57-673-5 in 2013. "His numbers were very similar to the year before," Dorsey said. "I think he’s a really good teammate." Bowe seems to have slowed down the past two seasons, but quarterback Alex Smith's ultra-conservative playing style has a way of making wide receivers look slower on the field. Bowe is owed a whopping $11 million in 2015 salary and bonuses. $1.75 million of his base salary is guaranteed. Mon, Dec 29, 2014 05:20:00 PM

Dwayne Bowe had three catches for 30 yards in Sunday's Week 17 win over the Chargers.

Bowe fumbled at the goal-line on what would have been his first score of the season. He'll finish without a touchdown for the only time in his career. Bowe led the Chiefs with 87 targets this year, but continued to be limited by Alex Smith. His 60 catches and 754 yards were a slight upgrade on his 2013 season. Kansas City should look to upgrade on Bowe as their No. 1 receiver this offseason. Sun, Dec 28, 2014 06:00:00 PM

Bowe has practiced very little in recent weeks, but he'll be out there in a must-win game for Kansas City. Chase Daniel will have a full supporting cast of Bowe, Travis Kelce, Albert Wilson, and Jason Avant versus the Colts. Fri, Dec 26, 2014 02:05:00 PM

Depth Charts

Smith infamously failed to throw a single touchdown pass to a wide receiver across 15 starts, but the Chiefs seem to have embraced his risk-averse playing style, and Smith still finished with a 65.3 completion rate and 18:6 TD-to-INT ratio before missing Week 17 with a lacerated spleen. "We’ve got to put some more pieces around him," said Dorsey. "But I think he’s lived up to what we thought he could be." Turning 31 in May, Smith is signed through 2018.

That might do it for Bray's career. The big-armed 2013 UDFA spent all of 2014 on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain, and has never attempted an NFL pass. The Chiefs have Alex Smith, Chase Daniel and Aaron Murray ahead of Bray on the depth chart, and recently signed Terrelle Pryor.

He'll be placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Gray is under contract through 2015 and should be back to compete for a roster spot. De'Anthony Thomas will replace Gray as the Chiefs' No. 3 back.

Harris broke his foot in Week 10. The former college basketball player with 4.52 wheels at 6'7/257 caught just three passes for 20 yards as the No. 3 tight end this season. He should be good to go for the entire offseason program. Harris remains an intriguing prospect for deep Dynasty leaguers to monitor.
